BASE BALL.
The Weekly Resume Of the Three Asso-
Citations.
The week ending September 10th
has been full of interest to the base
ball world. The championship season
in the various leagues is now drawing
TO close and the almost daily shift.
ing Of positions keeps up degree Of
interest IN the proceedings never be-
fore attained. In the national league,
the Detroit boys have secured such a
commanding lead as to be virtually
out Of reach. The games Of the past
week ct Detroit were the first of q
series of twenty-one consecutive
which are to be played on the home
grounds and a. the club came home
with clear lead Of seven games over
Chicago. IL was naturally conceded
that the race for the pennsnt was
about over 90 far as any chances re-
mained for Chicago or any of the
clubs next following; besides Chicago
had been playing In poor form the
week before, and reports of internal
strife and jealousy left little to be ex-
pected Of them. When, however,
they opened up at Detroit by captur.
ing the first game hope revived in the
hearts of the supporters of the White
and . rapid closing up on
Detroit was looked for, but Detroit
was In no mood to surrender the ad-
vantage of position and on Wednes-
day fought Two hardly contested
games with the Chicagos, winning
both; these victories were followed up
by three more from Pittsburg, and the
coming champions closed the week
with . record Of five games won out Of
six played. Chicago after leaving De-
troit came home, and on its first ap-
pearance there presented game to
Indianapolis. the tail-enders of the
league, Dy inexcusably poor play.

near Salisbury, upper Austria, in 1865,
his parents being in an humble station
in life. He is the youngest of family
of five children, none of whom are of
abnormal stature, nor are his parents
or grandparents unusually tall. His
fingers span two oc'aves on a piano,
and the stretch of his arms is enormous.
He showed no development of this
extraordinary growth up to the age of
fourteen, but since then he has been
growing rapidly, and medical author
tiles in Berlin and Paris have express
ed the opinion that he is likely to in
crease till he is twenty-five.
The young man is healthy, strong,
and intelligent. Beyond doubt he is
one of the greatest curiosities of the
day. A huge bed has been construct
ed for him in the building of the Pavil
ion, which will be his home for some
time to come.

Illegal Fees.

Washington Special to Republican.
The secretary ofthe treasury respond.
ed last Thursday to the resolution
adopted by the Senate, on the motion
of Senator Vest, calling for information
about payments made by the United
States for prosecutions in state courts
in cases to which the United States
was not a party of record. The reply
made by the secretary of the treasury
includes all extended report from the
first comptroller. The comptroller
states that he has been unable to extend
the examination of his book so far as to
cover all cases comprehended i'm the
senate's resolution, but he transmits
copies of the accounts rendered by
District-A, tOrney Bliss of Missouri, and
some other unimpOrtant cases to which
his attention has hitherto been direct
ed. There is nothing of interest in the
papers forwarded To the senate except
i'm the voluminous documents relating
to the compensation paid MIR. Bliss,
and other expenses undergone Dy the
United States in the prosecution of the
Lindsay land fraud cases. From thes e
it appears that n total expenditure was
made 10y the Untitled States i'm the
prosecution of these cases i'm the state
courts of Sl9.958, 50. Something more
than two-thirtIs of this expenditure was
in fees paid Mr. Bliss aud Mr.. J, r.
Harris of st. Louis. The accounts If
Mr.. Bliss show that from the very be-
ginning of his connection with these
cases. about every fes bill which he
presented to the encouragement was
cut down, except whero l.e asked for
money on account and made no itemiz
Ell statement. His work i'm these cases
began under a contract made by the at
tprney-general on April IL, 1881. The
first fee bill presented by Mr.. Bliss was
rendered to Attorney-GeneralB Brewster
in February. 1882. In this account Mr..
Bliss asked for 81 500, and the attor-
ney-general cut bill down more than
one-half, allowing him only So 500
The following September Mr.. Bliss
asked and received ST. 900 on account
In the next account. for services up to

he rendered bill in full for services

ry, 1882. a bill was alsr rendered for the
services of Mr.. J. r. Harris from April

called for a payment of $4,000, and At
tornry-General Brewster cut it down
to $500, which was paid. Previous
to this an allowance of $500 on account
was paid to Mr.. Harris in May, 1881.
The amount claimed in the different
bills presented by Messrs. Bliss and
Harris, and the actual amount paid
them was, therefore, as follows:

The editor of the Jackson Cash Book
last week frankly announced himself a
Prohibitionist first, and then a DEM
Ocrat. Speaking of the advisability of
submitting a Prohibition amendment
at the next general election, he declares
in favor of it, no matter what its result
upon the politics of the State. "What
are the Democratic and Republican
parties, anyway" he exclaims, "that
We should sacrifice so much for them?
Roses by any other names would smell
as sweet" This closes the debate so
far as the REGISTER is concerned.

Yew York Star: Twenty States
in which State elections were seriously
contested in 1886 show a net Democrat
ic plurality of 40, 1873 votes. In 1884 the
same States gave a net Republican
plurality of 1862 votes. The Demo
cratic gain of nearly two hundred
thousand is an indication of the in
creased strength of the Democratic
party under the administration of Pres
dent Cleveland. We commend these
figures to the serious consider alton of
the friends of Mr.. Blaine.

Totals.... 800 5000
1t will thus be seen that the claim
for services by the two attorneys was
almost dou ble the amount allowed by
the attorney general. and that the dis
allowances were entirely by the Re-
publican incumbent of the attorney
generals office under President Arthur.
Mr.. Bliss also had another account
with the government for services in
procecutidg William Dobey in the St.
Louis criminal court under a state in-
dictment for fraudulentIy obtaining
money from United States pensioners
and claimants for PENSIONS. He asked
for his services in this case 81, 200 and
Attorney General Brewster allowed
S7J0.
Besides these disallowances, it will
be recalled that 50 500 was deducted
from one of the accounts of Mr.. Bliss as
an offset for the fee for that amount
which he received in compromise of
the Missouri Pacific railroad tax cases,
and did not account for as an emolu-
ment of his office. This deduction was
made at the time he was allowed 50, 500
on April Is, 1888, SO that he really re-
ceived no payment on account of the
bill then retired. The total amount he
has drawn from the government for
services in the land fraud cases appears
therefore to have been Sc, $40.

Sugar Making.

1t would seem that at last the ex.
pertinent of making sugar from ma0aFs
sorghum cane, has proven successful.
AS this cane can prcfltably be raised
in this county. this is matter of im-
portance to our people. An exchange
says:
"Tne latest experiments, made at
the different works at Fort Scott
Kansas, have been very successful.
These demonstrate that sugar can be
made profltably from sorghum cane.
The average product from ton of
cane Is about ITO pounds Of first sug.
ar, twenty pounds of seconds, and ten
gallons of syrup. This average has
been kept no for weeks, and the plan
tiers are satisfied that they can make
the raising of cane and manufacture
of sugar and syrup profitable. II has
been asserted that the experiments
made by private individuals have
been more successful than those made
by the government, because the gov.
ernment officer who was charged with
the matter is incompetent and has
wasted the large sums of money appro-
priated by Congress. Ifthe cIlarges.are
we'll founded, they should he prompt
ly investigated, because the question
is one of national importance. Our
present importation of sugar amounts
annually TO over eighty million dol
lars. If the sacchrine matter in var
ious plants raised in this country can
be extracted with profit, the agricul.
tnral resources will be greatly in
creased. In California large quanti-
ties of sugar are being made from the
sugar beet, and it Is equal to any
that is imported. Planters are max.
ing experiments In the Southern
States, and from present indications
it looks as If in few years the Unit
ed States will be exporting instead Of
importing sugar and syrup.
